To set up remote communications, ensure that your oscilloscope is physicalĆ
ly cabled to the controller and that the oscilloscope parameters are correctly
set. Plug an IEEE Std 488.2-1987 GPIB cable into the GPIB connector on
the oscilloscope rear panel and into the GPIB port on your controller (see
FigureĂ3Ć61).

To set remote communications parameters:
Press SHIFT UTILITY ➞ System (main) ➞ I/O (popĆup).
Port Selection
Now you need to configure the port to match the controller (see FigĆ
ure 3Ć62).
Press SHIFT UTILITY ➞ System (main) ➞ I/O (popĆup) ➞ Port (main) ➞
GPIB (popĆup) ➞ Configure (main) ➞ Talk/Listen Address, Hardcopy
(Talk Only),orOff Bus (side)
H Choose Talk/Listen Address for normal, controllerĆbased system operaĆ
tion. Use the general purpose knob or the keypad to define the address.
H Use Hardcopy (Talk Only) to use the hardcopy port of your digitizing
oscilloscope. Once the port is configured this way, the oscilloscope will
send the hardcopy data to any listeners on the bus when the HARDCOĆ
PY button is pressed.
If the port is configured any other way and the HARDCOPY button is
pressed, an error will occur and the digitizing oscilloscope will display a
message saying the selected hardcopy port is currently unavailable.
H Use Off Bus to disconnect the digitizing oscilloscope from the bus.
